US attacks Britain for ‘aiding’ Gaddafi
~snip~
THE United States has accused the British government of becoming too close to Libyan leader Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi, as anti-government protests spread to the heart of the dictator’s regime in Tripoli.
The US ambassador to London, Louis Susman, made an implicit attack on the UK’s attempts to welcome Col Gaddafi back into the international diplomatic fold in recent years, branding them a “mistake”.

So is anyone keeping track of the ME countries who have fallen/in the process of falling?
Tunisia - fallen
Egypt - fallen
Libya - close to collapse
Yemen - in process
Bahrain - in process
Algeria - in process
Morocco - in process
Iran - being suppressed
Any that I’ve missed?
Thanks for the links!
Report: Libya air force bombs protesters heading for army base
Thank You
The King of Jordan dissolved the cabinet because of protests as well.
According to Haaretz, there’s a report that the Libyan air force actually dropped bombs on demonstrators who were trying to seize ammunition.
Here we have gangs of Communist agitators and Muslim fanatics burning cars and tossing molotov cocktails all over the place, and the news media talks about them as “Democracy protestors.”
Qadaffi is a stinker, but if he goes down, and it sure looks as if he will, the guys who replace him will be a thousand times worse.
Qadaffi started out as a Muslim terrorist, but he backed down and changed his ways after Reagan and then Bush went after him. In recent years, all his attention has been given to his harem.
Now the whole Arab world is in flames, and ignorant idiots in America and England are cheering as Obama stirs the fires. After closing down any domestic energy development.
Sudan - Bashir the butcher has announced he will not "seek reelection" after 22 years.
Jordan - King Abdullah may have headed it off early enough.
Syria - could be another wildcard like Libya, which no one was talking about a week ago.
Lebanon - Hezbollah's grip might not be as tight as they would like.
Jordan
Just what we need—the Middle East comes to the Midwest.

Libya on the Brink?
February 21, 2011 5:32 A.M. By Kathryn Jean Lopez
I talked to Mohamed Eljahmi late last night about the situtation in Libya ripe with both violence and rumors. Mohameds brother, Fathi Eljahmi, was a prominent democracy activist, murdered by Qadhafis regime. Mohamed tells me:
I am optimistic about Libya when Qadhafi completely disappears from the political scene. I just listened to his son, threatening and lying. He blamed the violence on opposition and called them, Drunken and drug users. His father hired the mercenaries not the opposition. It is time for the U.S. and West to explicitly tell Qadhafi to go. He is so toxic.
Maybe, if they are fighing each other, they will be too busy to plan major attacks on Europe, Russia, and the US.
It is difficult to know which side is the preferrable one.
At least, in Wisconsin, the sides are more defined. :)
Soldiers who refused to fire at protesters were burned......Bodies of burned soldiers found in barracks of those who refused to fire at protesters....confirmed.
Just about the only ones not rioting are the Palestinians who were supposed to be the worst off according to the MSM.
